Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)

The accepted papers and abstract of posters and demos will be published in Springer’s “Lecture Notes on Computer Science” As part of the review process, the best papers and two runner ups will be selected and given a special slot for presentation.

Papers---------Papers are invited on substantial, original and completed research, applications and development that have not previously been presented elsewhere and that make new contributions to all aspects of Digital Libraries. Papers should present completed work rather than intendedwork, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. Submissions will be judged on clarity, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees. Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference Programme Committee which will also take final decisions on the technical program.

Posters and Demos-----------------------Poster and Demo presentations offer researchers a unique opportunityto present late-breaking results, significant work in progress, orresearch that is best communicated in an interactive or graphicalformat. Poster and demo presentations further provide researchers withan opportunity to obtain feedback about their work from a wide rangeof persons during the poster session.

Accepted posters and demos will be displayed during a dedicatedsession, preceded by a plenary poster spotlight presentation session.The poster and demo session will allow attendees to have first-handviews of innovative digital library technologies and applications andto talk informally with system developers and researchers.
